Miracles

I stated in my post that it would be awhile. It has, but for different reasons.

Mr. Navy would have left on his deployment last Sunday morning. Yes, would have left.

I have never been a "tokin' Christian" or anything. Sure, I grew up Catholic and went to church, and I've always believed in a higher power. But growing up and being handed the life I was handed, I always found it really hard to scream God's name from the mountaintops. However, two weeks ago, I was given my very own miracle.

One week before he was scheduled to leave, Mr. Navy received a phone call from his deployment doctor, stating that she had found something on his ECG that disqualified him from going. Disqualified.

He told me the news -- and I literally felt the world stop -- until I heard him utter the phrase "I have to go see a Cardiologist". HUH?

Why does it always have to be one thing or another, I asked God. He won't be leaving me for war, but...what, he has a..heart problem?

Mr. Navy and I hugged...for awhile...and then began to research cardiologists and Google the different types of heart conditions that his doctor said it could be. Nothing looked too serious....at least he's not going to war... I thought.

Mr. Navy went on to get a second opinion -- and that ECG came out..gulp...normal.

Could it be, that I was just given a miracle? That in fact, it isn't one thing or another, but that he and I were blessed by God and given the ability to not be separated? And, could it be, that there is actually nothing wrong with his heart?

Stay tuned for the final results, but I can stand here and say proudly...that while I'm still not a "tokin' Christian", I am living proof of miracles. Just believe, even when it's the last thing you want to do.
